Easy-To-Move 6-Hole Mineral Feeder
“The feeder comes with wheels and a U-shaped handle on one end so you can push it like a wheelbarrow,” says Esch. “It can also be ordered with runners for dragging behind an ATV, pickup or small tractor. The feeders are heavy-duty and built so they won’t tip over easily.”
The feeder is made from hardwood lumber and weighs 180 to 200 lbs. empty. The 4 by 4 runners can be made from pressure treated or hardwood lumber, according to customer preference. Fasteners are all stainless steel. Runner designs have rings mounted at both ends for towing.
“Each of the 6 feeding holes has a cover made from 1/2-in. floor mat,” says Esch. “Livestock lift the cover with their nose, and when they are finished, the cover falls back into place. The minerals and salt stay dry and out of the weather.”
Oregon Ag is selling the feeders for $335 with runners and $355 with wheels.
